Our laws provide that victims of persecution and torture must have a meaningful opportunity to request safe haven. We need not prejudge the outcome of these cases. We need only adhere to our laws that ensure that each child is treated in a fair manner. that their case be individually considered. and if they deserve protection under the law. so be it. if not. they go home. This is not new. Refugees have received protection in America for decades. In 1980. the asylum system that we have today was established. Most of the special protections for unaccompanied children were created in 1997.
